Just the other day I received this notice from SiteGround, the folks who I pay to host this website. Not to worry though, it was the end of the month and my IT guy has plenty of time to fix the problem. Thanks to the generous folks who supported the CanoeTripping.net fund raiser, the funds are there to increase the monthly quota if needed.
The reason I share this with you is that I feel it vindicates my reason for not allowing the OP of the Freestyle post to add his videos and images here. I knew the site was growing and I had to be cautious as to what direction it would take and remain relatively error free. The fund raiser was supported by Trippers, never had I received one request to introduce Freestyle yet I received many notes supporting the sites content and "Tripping" direction.
The reason I gave for my refusal to embrace the freestyle agenda was that I was concerned about the usage quota and this notice below proves that the site was approaching that level. Sure, I could have bought more quota at that time, but the support for the site until then was 99% trippers and 2 known freestyle folks. I have since sent their donations back.
The only reason I share this with you is that behind the scenes I took alot of flack. Window stickers where sent back, I was warned how I would be remembered in the "paddling community", snarky remarks on social media about the site, and people walked away. Even a friend suggested I might be harsh. Not to mention the remarks that where made here on the site.
Thanks
